First gear manual tips

 · First day felt like a novice stalling when bringing clutch up at idle. Read up on our dual disc setup and figured out its like a 2 step process. Initial bite of the first disc to get jeep rolling and full grab when 2nd disc hits. On steep inclines I bring it to about rpm and once I feel first bite and it starts rolling I bringing it all the way. Find a flat parking lot, and put the car into first. Without using the gas, slowly (and I mean slowly) release the clutch pedal. When the car lurches forward and the engine starts dragging you'll know where the bite point is. Clutch back in and take it out of gear. The two hardest gears for learning how to drive a manual transmission are first and reverse, so practice in first and reverse.

When the vehicle comes to a complete stop shift back to first gear. OR shift to the appropriate gear for the speed you're travelling. • DO NOT take the selector out of gear and coast in neutral. That spot is pretty much the key to driving manual, it's called the contact point. Okay, now that you have the contact point, what you want to do to get into gear is put a good amount of gas in (i use about rpms, but I first learned to do it at ) and release the clutch to that contact point.
